Precautions for Trouble
Diagnosis
After performing trouble diagnosis, be sure to erase trouble stored in memory.
Refer to "CONSULT for
TCS/ABS Control Unit Control System"
(BR-27), "Self-diagnosis for TCSIABS
Control Unit Control System"
(BR-34), "CONSULT for Throttle Control Unit Control System" (BR-37) or
"Self-diagnosis for Throttle Control Unit Control System"
(BR-41).
The concerns that are difficult to duplicate may be caused by faulty electrical connections. Move harnesses
or harness connectors by hand to check if there is any poor mating of connector halves or faulty connec-
tion. Do not force to open a connector terminal when using a circuit tester for inspection.
Read GI section thoroughly in advance and make sure of all the general precautions.
Basic Inspection
BASIC INSPECTION 1 - Brake fluid level and leakage
1. Check brake fluid level in reservoir tank. Replenish brake fluid if necessary.
2. Check for leakage at or around brake piping and ABS actuator. If leakage or seepage is noted, proceed
as follows:
If ABS actuator connectors are loose, tighten to specified torque. Recheck to ensure that leakage is no
longer present.
If flare nut threads at piping connectors or actuator threads are damaged, replace faulty parts with new
ones. Recheck to ensure that leakage is no longer present.
If brake fluid leaks through areas other than actuator connectors, wipe off using a clean cloth. Recheck
for leakage or seepage. If necessary, replace faulty parts with new ones.
If brake fluid leaks at or seeps through ABS actuator, wipe off using a clean cloth.
Recheck for leakage or seepage. If necessary, replace ABS actuator with new one.
CAUTION:
ABS actuator cannot be disassembled. Do not attempt to disassemble it.
3. Check brake disc rotors and pads for proper operation.
BASIC INSPECTION 2 - Loose power line terminal
Check battery terminals (positive and negative) and battery mounting (ground) for looseness. If necessary,
tighten to specified torque. Check the battery for lower voltage.
BASIC INSPECTION 3 - SLlP indicator lamp, TCS OFF indicator lamp and ABS warning
lamp
Turn ignition switch "ON" to ensure that TCS OFF indicator lamp lights up. If TCS OFF indicator lamp does
not light, check TCS OFF indicator lamp circuit.
Turn ignition switch
"ON" to ensure that SLlP indicator lamp lights
up. If SLlP indicator lamp does not light,
check SLlP indicator lamp circuit.
Turn ignition switch "ON" to ensure that ABS warning lamp lights up. If ABS warning lamp does not light,
check ABS warning lamp circuit.
Check that the SLlP indicator lamp and the ABS warning lamp go off approx.
1 second after the engine
has started. If either of the lamps still remains on, perform the self-diagnosis for TCSIABS control unit
control system and the self-diagnosis for throttle control unit control system.
After driving vehicle at approx. 30
km/h
for approx.
1 minute, check to ensure that the SLlP indicator lamp
and the ABS warning lamp are off. If either of the lamps still remains on, perform the self-diagnosis for
TCS/ABS
control unit control system and the self-diagnosis for throttle control unit control system.
Check that the TCS OFF indicator lamp turns ON and OFF when the TCS OFF switch is turned to
ON
and OFF respectively, with the engine running. If the lamp status does not correspond to the switch
position, check the TCS OFF switch circuit.
Check that the TCS OFF indicator lamp goes off when the engine has started with the TCS OFF switch
OFF. If the TCS
OFF indicator lamp does not go off even 10 seconds after the engine has started, per-
form the self-diagnosis for TCSIABS control unit control system and the self-diagnosis for throttle control
unit control system.
After driving vehicle at approx.
30 kmlh for approx. 1 minute with the TCS OFF switch OFF, check to ensure
that the TCS OFF indicator lamp is off. If the TCS OFF indicator lamp lights up, perform the
self-diagno-
sis for
TCS/ABS
control unit control system and the self-diagnosis for throttle control unit control system.
After performing self-diagnosis procedures, be sure to erase trouble stored in memory.

FULLY AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER
System Description
The fully automatic air conditioner system utilizes sensors to detect the in-vehicle temperature, ambient
temperature, temperature of air passing through the evaporator, and
sunload. The detected values are
compared with the temperature adjustment dial setting, and calculated by the microcomputer within the
automatic amplifier. The air inlet and outlet temperatures and airflow rate are adjusted in order to main-
@ tain the in-vehicle temperature.
When an abnormal pressure occurs within the cooler cycle [gauge pressure: approx.
2.7 MPa (28 kg/
cm2G)
or higher; or approx. 0.18
MPa
(1.8
kg/cm2-G)
or lower] the refrigerant pressure sensor operates,
Ec
and stops the compressor.
The
ECM turns off the air conditioner relay, and stops the compressor during engine high load.
The blower fan motor utilizes
a brushless motor, and controls the airflow with a built-in IC that recognizes AT
the driver signal (pulse) from the automatic amplifier.
Step-motor type actuators are employed for intake door, mode door, and air mix door. They are rotated in
response to the signal (pulse) step quantity transmitted from the automatic amplifier to control the target
BR
door position.

When a open-circuit failure is displayed for all four terminals of
each actuator, there is a possibility of a disconnected
connector, or broken harness of the actuator driver power
SOU rce.
The self-diagnosis cannot detect short-circuit between actua-
tor driver signals, but the actuators will vibrate when actuated.
Step 4 - Each output device check
Display shows "41" in the step 4 mode. When the DEF switch is
pushed it switches from
42-343+44+45-+46-,41. As indicated in
the following table, the automatic amplifier forcefully outputs to
each actuator, blower fan motor, and compressor in response
to
the display code. Confirm and check each output operation status
by observing, listening to the operating sound, placing hand at the
air outlet, or using other methods.
The operation status of each actuator, blower fan motor, and
1
compressor cannot be confirmed on the display.
